Knicks Re-Sign Veteran Guard Landry Shamet to One-Year Deal

News summary

The New York Knicks have re-signed veteran guard Landry Shamet to a one-year deal for the 2025-26 NBA season, reinforcing their bench depth as they prepare to contend in the Eastern Conference. Shamet, who has played for multiple NBA teams, including the Philadelphia 76ers, Los Angeles Clippers, Brooklyn Nets, Phoenix Suns, and Washington Wizards, returns to the Knicks after a productive 2024-25 season where he averaged 5.7 points per game and shot nearly 40% from three-point range. His decision to rejoin the Knicks reflects his preference for continuity and a locker room environment he values, as well as his commitment to helping New York compete for a title. The deal fits well within the Knicks' salary cap structure, allowing them to maintain financial flexibility while securing a reliable role player familiar with their system. Shamet's ability to stretch the floor and contribute off the bench was a key asset during the Knicks' run to the Eastern Conference Finals last season, and he is expected to play a similar role moving forward. Overall, this signing benefits both Shamet and the Knicks by aligning their mutual goals of competitive success and meaningful playing time.
